How well do you understand the typical challenges of your Finance team? In our previous article, we discussed 3 of the most common problems that every Finance team faces at one point or another. If you missed it, make sure you go back and check it out now. Today, we’re giving you 3 MORE of the most common problems a Finance team may be facing, as well as what you can do to solve them so you can build better efficiency into your business and achieve your goals.
Problem No. 4: Multiple systems that don’t communicate with each other
To streamline your business and bring true efficiency to your financial reporting and forecasting, you need an automated data collection and analysis system where each piece of software communicates effortlessly with the next to provide you with the figures you need when you need them.
If your Finance team is still collecting and analysing your business data manually, you need to review your existing setup to determine how you can implement more automation and enable your team to work with greater speed each day.
Problem No. 5: Limited resources
Sometimes, the biggest problem that your Finance team can face is a complete shortage of the resources that they need to be able to carry out their tasks and responsibilities. This lack of resources can come in the form of staff shortages, limited access to the right technologies, or even budgeting limitations that mean your Finance team simply cannot afford the resources they require.
When you have a lack of resources such as those listed above, this makes it very difficult for your Finance team to reach their full potential as they’ll have a general lack of engagement from performing tedious tasks for longer hours. This, in turn, can prevent your business from growing to its full potential.
Finance Team Problem No. 6: Understanding when and if your business is investor ready
For many business leaders, their overarching goal is to one day bring investors on board so they can expand their operations and possibly even take a step back in their role when the time is right. The problem, however, is that many Finance teams simply don’t understand how to prepare a business to be investor-ready, much less know when they’ve reached the stage where they can start to seek investor interest.
